I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to keep my lead wrist from breaking down just after impact and through the follow thru. I've gotten myself to create lag and some forward shaft lean but it's very obvious that my arms and shoulders stall when I put the club to the ball. This definitely reduces my potential swing speed and can cause a weaker flip if it happens too early.  I'm hoping for any drills or feel to biomechanically get my upper body to continue their momentum through the finish and I simply can't get myself to do it.  the club ends up perpendicular to my arms when they're parallel to the ground during the finish.

Good slow motion video from correct angles here is required. People flip for all sorts of reasons and it’s rarely simply because they need to train their wrists or something.

Well, to me the answer is kinda clear…

You're so "crowded" or "narrow" here that you have to throw the hell out of it.

The time you have spent working on "lag" has probably been detrimental. You have too much too late, so of course you "throw it away."

It was mostly work to avoid throwing it away far earlier than that, which included keeping hip bend to avoid early extension and shallowing. Losing my angles has been a problem for decades for me and I started over-exaggerating things in order to attempt to fix it.

Yeah, well, the fix is actually going to include throwing away the angles much sooner. Getting very WIDE early in the downswing (and not getting so narrow during the backswing, too).
